"No wonder there is a spiritual spring placed here. It turns out to be to nourish this tree. I want the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk, but I am also very curious about this soul-nurturing tree." Bai Ran looked at Yuan Yao and said slowly.
.
As soon as he said this, Yuan Yao's expression turned cold.
"Don't worry, after so many years of nourishment, this tree must be quite big. I only need a small root section, and I won't compete with Miss Yuan for the most important trunk." Seeing this girl's expression, Bai Ran smiled slightly.
said.
"Just the roots?" Yuan Yao was startled at first, and then his expression softened, but there was still a trace of doubt in his beautiful eyes.
"Of course, as compensation, I still have to get the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk that Miss Yuan promised just now." Bai Ran said with a straight face.
"Hehe! Fellow Taoist Bai is really a good calculator. Thinking about the roots of the soul-nurturing tree, there must be many sects willing to pay a lot of money to buy it from Brother Bai. However, I agreed to this matter." Yuan Yao rolled her eyes slightly.
, thinking that he had guessed Bai Ran's thoughts, he burst into a trembling smile.
But this way, she seemed to feel relieved.
Bai Ran smiled lightly and didn't explain anything further.
"Okay, let's break the formation. Let me first tell fellow Taoist some of my experience in breaking the formation." Yuan Yaojing immediately said with a smile. She seemed to be even more anxious than Bai Ran.
"Don't be busy yet. Don't you want Miss Yuan to take away this spiritual spring?" Bai Ran pointed at the pool and asked with a half-smile.
"Brother Bai, are you kidding me? This spiritual spring has long been connected to the entire inner palace by the master of Xutian Palace. If I had such great magical power, I would have gone directly to collect the Xutian Cauldron. Why bother?
I'm staying here." Yuan Yao said coquettishly.
After hearing this, Bai Ran showed a hint of disappointment. But then he thought about it and started laughing again.
He seemed to be a little too greedy, and as soon as he saw the treasure, he immediately wanted to take it for himself.
This was not a good sign. He did not want to end up like a man dying for money and a bird dying for food. Thinking of this, Bai Ran secretly warned himself, then stopped mentioning the matter and said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please give me your soul first, and then explain the formation. If the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to break this formation within two or three days."
After hearing this, Yuan Yao smiled sweetly at Bai Ran, and her face suddenly became stunning and charming!
...Two days later, a white light flashed on the sea dozens of miles away from Xutian Palace.
Then the figures of a man and a woman appeared there out of thin air, surrounded by light.
The man's appearance is ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding except for his clear eyes. The woman's figure is slender, as delicate as a flower, and there is an infinite charm hidden in her bright eyes.
As soon as the two men appeared above the sea, they looked around with unusual vigilance. When they saw that there were no other monks here, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
They were Bai Ran and Yuan Yao who were teleported out after breaking the formation in the secret room.
"It seems that the others are still trapped in the Xutian Palace. They will not be able to come out before time." Yuan Yao looked at the direction of the Xutian Cauldron and said with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Will those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage be transported out after collecting treasures like us?" Bai Ran did not take it lightly and said with a frown.
"Don't worry. The place where you are teleported after taking the treasure is random. It may be near Xutian Temple, or it may be hundreds of miles away. It is impossible for anyone to monitor such a vast area at the same time.
"Yuan Yao inadvertently glanced at her black hair and said softly.
"That's good!" Bai Ran nodded with peace of mind.
"What? Could it be that Brother Bai offended those old monsters? If this is the case, fellow Taoist Bai should really be more careful." Yuan Yao asked with a hint of probing in her beautiful eyes.
"I don't have to worry about this, Fellow Taoist Yuan. I still have important things to do, so I'll take the first step." Bai Ran gave Yuan Yao a fist with a calm expression, and then without waiting for the other party to say anything, he turned into a
A blue rainbow flew away without any trace of nostalgia.
Yuan Yao looked at Bai Ran's retreating light, with a strange look on his face.
After a while, she shook her head slightly, and a black light flashed on her hand, and a strange tree about a foot long appeared.
The surface of this wood is charred, rough, and pitted, making it extremely ugly.
But when Yuan Yao looked at the tree, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
"Sister Yan, please be patient for a while, and I will find someone to refine this wood into a soul storage box. This will completely free you from the pain of soul refining." After saying this in a low voice, the woman stopped.
Hesitantly, he covered his head with a black robe, covering his astonishingly beautiful face.
Then Yuan Yao also turned into a ball of black air and flew away in another direction.
In the blink of an eye, the sea here became silent again.
At the same time, on the high platform on the fifth floor of the inner hall of Xutian Hall, several people stood there with gloomy expressions.
All of them had ugly expressions. They were none other than Patriarch Jiyin and other monks in the Nascent Soul stage, and Barbarian Beard also stood among them coldly.
I don't know what kind of agreement was reached, but no one took action against it anymore.
"We have jointly searched all corners from the third to fifth floors of the inner palace. Countless restrictions have been broken and puppets destroyed, but they still haven't been found. Extremely Yin! Two of the three missing people can be found.
It all has a lot to do with you. Are you really the one who instigated them to take the treasure and abscond?" Wan Tianming said with a livid face.
"Hmph! Master Wan, you have asked this question several times. I have already told you that something unexpected happened to Wu's beloved grandson. I have personally detected this with my secret skills. There is absolutely no mistake. If it weren't for this
The 'Tiangang Cover' has blocked all my senses. I should have been able to know the moment my grandson died. He would not have let those two boys take the opportunity to escape with the treasure." Grandmaster Jiyin lost his temper.
After a while, he said with a distorted face.
"Speaking of which, I think Brother Man is the most suspicious. Why was the Xutian Cauldron taken away during the period when Brother Man led us all out? Brother Man has still refused to explain clearly the origin of that junior.
, Could it be that he and that boy had colluded in advance?" Jiyin Patriarch's voice changed, and he suddenly stared at Man Beard and said in a sinister voice.
"Joke, what do you want to tell you? What does the truth of the Xutian Cauldron have to do with that boy, and what does it have to do with me. I was and was being chased by everyone and ran away, so the treasure tripod would not have fallen.
Leave it in my hands! But the boy you called yourself Wuchou died, who knows whether it is true or not? Maybe he is full of joy!" Barbarian Beard glared and retorted unceremoniously.
"You..." When Patriarch Jiyin heard this, he was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.
My beloved grandson has died in a tragic accident! He still has to bear such a big blame. This is something Jiyin Patriarch cannot accept.
Suddenly his face turned angry and he opened his mouth to argue again.
But the old man in Confucian shirt beside him started to persuade him at this moment.
"Brother Man and Brother Wu don't need to have any disputes? It doesn't matter whether these three people took away the treasure. As for which one of them has anything to do with us? This is all secondary. The most important thing now is that regardless of these three people
No matter life or death, we have to find them. When we chased Brother Man, we chased them all the way to the entrance of the third floor. No matter how fast they moved, they could not escape below the third floor. And if
Today, we have worked together to set up several formations at the entrance to the third floor. It is impossible for them to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. As for teleporting out of the secret room, that is even more impossible. You must know that they are only in the early stage of pill formation.
Even if three monks work together, they will never be able to pass through any secret room above the third floor, unless they are really dizzy and want to commit suicide." The old man in Confucian shirt analyzed calmly.
"But, we searched all over the third to fifth floors and found no trace of them at all." Wan Tianming said coldly, with a look of suspicion on his face.
In fact, it wasn't just him, the three of them in Zhengdao were half convinced and half doubtful.
They had secretly discussed it several times through sound transmission, and they all felt that it was possible that the three old demons had joined forces to put on a good show. They deliberately lured them away, and then let the younger generation take out the Xutian Cauldron.
Therefore, Wan Tianming and the others were filled with regret on the one hand, and on the other hand they were watching the actions of Ji Yin and others with eager eyes, and would never leave Lao Mo and the others in the Xutian Palace.
Extremely yin, the old man in Confucian robes naturally saw the thoughts of Wan Tianming's righteous people. But they were also anxious and could not care about this matter.
They just want to quickly find Bai Ran and Xuan Gu and get back the Xutian Cauldron.
A group of Nascent Soul stage monks fought in the inner hall, but the treasure was stolen by the Danjie Dan stage monks. If the rumor spreads, they will have great fun!
Besides, how could they be willing to let the Xutian Cauldron fall into the hands of Bai Ran and others?
Barbarian Beard was also surprised, because Xuan Gu's behavior seemed to be a little different from what he had agreed upon in advance.
Could it be that Juan Ding really escaped!
An ordinary monk in the alchemy stage may not be able to pass the restrictions of the third floor of the secret chamber, but if you change the mysterious bones of the ghost path, it's really hard to say.
Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Man Beard's face didn't show any signs of it. Instead, because of other thoughts, he had the idea in his mind that he must muddy the water.
So Man Beard also said coldly:
"You guys are telling me, could it be that the two old guys from Xing Gong didn't leave and were hiding nearby. When they saw us all chasing them out, they came out to kill those three people and then took away the Xutian Cauldron!
"
Upon hearing Man Beard's words, the others looked at each other in confusion for a while, but then they all showed some thoughtful expressions.
